Crushed old vehicles used for river bank stabilization.
I guess if it works - great-??


One of biggest Gallatin River browns I ever caught
(down near Logan) came out the back seat of an old car.
The hard part was side-arm skip-casting a big
streamer back into the half submerged, busted-out window.

That old hulk fell into a deep hole years ago. Big brown trout do like
those fortress-like hiding places.

Lots'a old car bodies used as rip-rap. This was Lady Bird Johnson's
brain storm. Half the fun of fly-fishing in Montana is playing "Name
That Car" while trying to wade around the rusted hulks.
